1244 His Reputation Trembles the Heavens (1/2)
”Li Xiang? What about him?” Chen Xiaobei cocked his head.
”He met with some trouble during his search but he said that he didn't need my help. He said he could handle it but the opening of Emperor Qin's tomb will have to be postponed,” said Jiang Ziya.
”Did you ask what the problem was exactly? Is Li Xiang in some kind of danger?”
”He didn't elaborate. But the Orochi scales are his best protective talisman. Whoever harms him will be completely stripped of the chance to venture into Emperor Qin's tomb. He should be very safe!”
”That's true!” Chen Xiaobei nodded. ”Before the ninth Orochi Scale is collected, no one can afford a fallout! Without one of the scales, the other Orochi Scales would be useless!”
”Exactly! So, you don't have to worry about Li Xiang. It's just that the plan will have to be delayed!”
”It's alright. I've got my hands full anyway!” Chen Xiaobei smiled. ”After all, the road to happiness is strewn with setbacks! Who knows, the surprise may be even better in the end because of the delay!”
”There would definitely be a surprise. Emperor Qin is the kind of person that is so powerful even the heavens are afraid of him! I believe that there has to be some really good treasure inside his tomb!”
”The heavens are afraid of him? What do you mean?”
”After Emperor Qin had conquered all of the Warring States in China, he declared that he was going to partake the Divine Pill and lead a million cavalry to attack the heavenly realm! That was impossible, of course. But the year when the Qin Empire was at its prime, a million skilled and valiant warriors gathered in the city of Xianyang, both gods and ghouls alike, all worshipping the devoted Emperor! All one million of them raised their swords to skies and roared to heaven! Their battle cries shook both heaven and earth! Their ruthless resolve pierced the heavens like invisible swords! The deities trembled; the Jade Emperor quavered! The merit points that Emperor Qin had now accumulated by unifying the whole of China was more than enough to allow him to become a deity, but because the Jade Emperor feared Emperor Qin, he secretly replaced the Divine Pill with a vat of poison. He would not allow the great Emperor Qin to ascend to heaven! That is how this extraordinary emperor died at the young age of 49!”
Chen Xiaobei was shocked to hear this.
This was the first time Chen Xiaobei had heard of this classified information. There was no record of such thing on earth!
This was in fact, highly classified information from the heavenly realms. Other than Jiang Ziya alone, Old Wang and Six-Eared Macaque knew nothing about this.
The Jade Emperor had poisoned to death a heavily-merited earthly realm Emperor!
If this matter was made public, the Ancestral Lord would hold his royal highness the Jade Emperor responsible!
After all, since Emperor Qin had united China by putting an end to the wars and bringing peace to millions, his merit points should definitely be in the hundreds of millions!
If Ancestral Lord knew about this, he would surely scutinize and investigate this matter!
”Xiaobei! Don't think too much! This thing happened such a long time ago and I only told you to demonstrate that there might be a lot of mind-boggling things hidden within Emperor Qin's mausoleum. Sooner or later, you will have to go and check it out!”
”I understand! That is for certain! Oh, yeah! Is Emperor Qin cultivating in the underworld? I could ask him privately about what's inside the mausoleum, right?”
”Of course not! Emperor Qin passed away with a lot of resentment in his heart. In all likelihood, he fell into the realm of demons and became a demon himself, forbidden to reincarnate!”
”Oh, that makes sense… He was framed. It's normal that he would choose to enter the realm of demons!”
Chen Xiaobei felt a little disappointed.
The great Emperor Qin was denigrated just like that. How sad and unfortunate!
